Root And CW question?

I followed all the steps to root my Nexus S
Super User is installed
I can I tell if my phone is Rooted correctly?
I can not get rom manager or Set CPU to work both say they can not get super user permissions
Last question
How do I boot into CW from my nexus S?
I flashed it threw comand prompt on the computer and was able to use CW to unzip superuser but after I reboot the phone I cant seem to access CW unless I reflash it.
Any ideas?
THanks

Yeah I have the same issue but with Titanium Backup. When I launch it I get the popup saying it was granted superuser permissions but when I actually try to use it it says ROO access --> FAILED

Try installing busybox from within titanium backup by hitting the problems button.

That did the trick! Thank you so much!

[Q] Super User not working, no CWM how to unroot??

Okay, first off, I have searched. For the last 3 hours I have searched!!
I foolishly used Razorclaws one-button root method and it worked, However everything after that point has been an utter failure. I tried to flash recovery, and nothing. I tried using CWM, and nothing. I open Super User and it just closes. I don't know what else to do. Yes, I saw post 275 in the razorclaw thread, but when I put in the command list, it tells me it doesn't recognize the command. I previously had a Nook Color and had the easy adb installed. I don't know if this is my problem. I have a B70 transformer, I just want to unroot. I tried the Super User update fixer, nothing. The Transformer is running fine, I get force closes on some apps. I just want to return to stock. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I unrooted it. But the superuser apk remains in the app drawer. Is there any harm that can be done by having it? I would like to 'successfully' root and flash a rom, but judging from my inability to flash recovery using the one-button method I will wait. I would love to overclock this beast!
You can delete this thread, I apologize for wasting time and resources!

have you tried rebooting and then re-rooting?
how did you unroot ?

Thanks for the replies
I did not reboot and reroot, I did have to download the SDK in order to use the adb functions. I used the info provided by doaist to remove su permissions, I suppose. When I checked through the razorclaw app, and terminal. I was not given su access. So, I assumed I didn't have su permission.
And as soon as I try to get into the adb shell and type 'su' it says 'permission denied' , I don't know what else to do to remove it.
Thanks for your input guys, it means a lot.

Okay, so I redownloaded said apps, and I am now performing a backup. Which rom should I use? Which rom will allow me to retain stock functionality , and which OC kernal should I use. Is there a rom that has both?

When flashing recovery, does it go to the emmc or the extrernal sd???

Sharp SH7218u

This thread is dedicated to hacking and development of the Sharp SH7218u. This is an Android phone with a somewhat unique clamshell form-factor.
Before proceeding, please note that all of the usual warnings apply. The software and techniques described here have the potential to break your device and make it unusable. By using the software and following these techniques you run the risk of bricking your phone. I take no responsibility if this happens - proceed at your own risk.
First, some credits for the work of others:

Now on the instructions....
-------------------
Rooting Your Phone, Installing Clockworkmod Recovery, and Installing Google Apps
Gather the Required Files:
1. Go to the z4root xda thread, login in and download z4root.1.3.0.apk:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
2. Download SH7218u_recovery.apk:
(attached below)
3. Download the Clockworkmod recovery flashable Google Apps file from the following site:
http://goo-inside.me/gapps
In the table, you want to select the HDPI, CyanogenMod 6 version. The file that you download should be
called 'gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip'
4. Place these three files on your micro-SD card and insert the card into your phone.
Root Your Phone
1. Boot up your phone and skip the system setup wizard. Go to the app drawer and run 'Settings'.
2. Select 'Applications', and enable 'Unknown sources'.
3. Select 'Development', and enable 'USB debugging'.
4. Exit back out to your home screen launcher, then go to the app drawer and run 'ES File Explorer'.
5. The file explorer should show you the contents of your sd card. Tap on the file 'z4root.1.3.0.apk'.
6. Confirm installation of z4root, and when this is complete select 'Open' to run the app.
7. From within z4root, press the 'Permanent Root' button.
8. Wait until this process is complete, and the phone will reboot by itself. It can take 30 seconds or so for this to happen, so be patient. You are now rooted.
Flash Clockworkmod Recovery Image
You must be rooted for this to work. Do this after you have successfully completed the rooting process above. Also please note that this is not the CWM recovery image developed by Gigi Tse. Her image contains CWM version 3.0.2.4. This is my recovery image and contains CWM version 5.0.2.8.
1. Open the app drawer and run 'ES File Explorer'.
2. Tap on the file 'SH7218u_recovery.apk'.
3. Confirm installation and run the application by selecting 'Open' once installation is complete.
4. On startup, the application will request Superuser privleges - press 'Accept' to allow this.
5. Press the 'Flash Clockworkmod Recovery' button.
6. Wait a few seconds until you see the confirmation message 'Recovery Flash Complete'.
7. Exit out of the application. You now have Clockworkmod as your recovery. You can uninstall the SH7218u_recovery app if you wish as you have no further use of it.
Note for users of Link2SD: This version of Clockworkmod recovery will perform backup and restore operations on the secondary SD card partition used by Link2SD. However, that partition must be formatted in the ext3 filesystem for this to work. Formatting the partition in any other filesystem (e.g. ext2, fat32, ext4, etc.), will result in failure to mount and backup the partition. An SD card can be prepared for use with Link2SD from within this version of Clockworkmod recovery by using the 'Partition SD Card' feature within the 'Advanced' menu.
Install Google Apps
1. Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery. This is done by powering down your phone, then turning it back on by pressing and holding down the number 3 and 6 buttons together, then pressing and releasing the power button. Continue to hold the number 3 and 6 buttons until you see the Clockworkmod screen.
2. Select 'install zip from sdcard' from the menu.
3. Select 'choose zip from sdcard' from the next menu.
4. The next menu will be the contents of your sdcard. Select the Google Apps file - 'gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip'.
5. Confirm the installation and wait until it is complete.
6. Press the back button once to get back to the main screen and select 'reboot system now'. You now have Google Apps installed.
When you reboot the device, you will be taken through the Google account setup. Please note that in order for contacts applications to work with Google synchronization, you will need to install a modified contact editor. The stock firmware on this phone is not intended to sync with the Google servers as it was intended for Chinese users. The modified contact editor fixes this issue. It is free and available from the Market. Look for 'Contact Editor Free' by a developer named 'dmfs'.

Hey someone read my thread!!
Sorry, no posts on this thread yet and it has been up for a while. I think most people who have this phone stick to Howard forums or other such sites that cater to the phone type and its region of origin.
As for your question, no...but I have tried. That would require a modification of the phone app or a change to the OS itself as the phone app is the active app when the phone is ringing and the device is opened. If I had the source code for the stock phone app, this would be a fairly easy thing to do. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find the source for the stock device firmware anywhere. I tried compiling a generic Froyo phone app from the Google source, but of course this did not work. This is a somewhat special app that needs to interface with several parts of the device's hardware, so a generic version just doesn't work. Unless Sharp releases the full source code for the stock firmware, I don't think this is going to be possible....at least not from someone with my somewhat limited development abilities.

Google Play
Hey xdajunkman, amazing work you are doing here.
Have you considered adding Google Play to the mix? I was able to get the latest version working just fine on my SH7218u.
How hard would it be to hack the light notifications area of the phone, to make some of the notifications last for 1-2 seconds longer?
I should also add that my phone is giving some really flaky GPS information. It is putting me somewhere in the ocean near China unless I use wifi only. Do you have any experience with this?
EDIT: I don't know why, but the dialer is not working for me with regard to the long-press of the delete key and silent (#) key. No idea why...
EDIT2: It is because I had another keyboard installed; which must do something funky... switching back to a default keyboard and then trying seemed to work!

Thanks for your guide! Do you have got new version Rom? 2.3 or 2.3.5?

Not likely to come. This would mean building something like CM7 for a new device from scratch. This kind of task takes dozens of man-hours for an expert developer, and that assumes that they have access to the original source for the release build. We do not have the original source, and there is no such developer working on this device. We will be stuck with Froyo.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a guide xdajunkman!
I received my SH7218u today and did everything. The instructions were clear and the whole process took no more than 30 minutes.
Surprisingly, my SH7218u accepts 64 microsd card (after you format it).

Is it ok to have 2 partitions?
One is a ext2, and the other I just created using clockwork mod ext3...
I'm wanting to use that custom rom..
EDIT: clockwork mod Repartitioned my ext2 to ext3 now ಠ_ಠ
and all my apps are "installed"
Going to make a backup rom now.. and then Install xdajunkman's custom rom >__<
EDIT: Ok succesfully installed the Custom rom It looks great I might say awesome work xdajunkman
Ok the question is now.. how to I get back all my previous apps and stuff?
I followed the guide and made a backup already

It is usually just easier if you wait until you have the new ROM installed before you try and install your apps. There is no reliable way from within CWM to restore your installed apps.
However, because the new ROM is just a modified version of the stock ROM, it should be possible to flash the new ROM without wiping the existing user data and keeping your installed apps. Restore your backup that has all of your apps installed. Then, flash the modified ROM but skip the step in the instructions that tells you to wipe existing user data. Instead of wiping the user data, do the following:
1. In the 'mounts and storage' menu of CWM recovery, select to format both '/system' and '/cache'
2. In the 'advanced' menu of CWM, select 'Wipe Dalvik cache'
Now proceed with installing the ROM as per the instructions. This should result in the modified ROM being installed, but all of your installed apps should be protected.
If this does not work, then you will just have to re-installed the modified ROM according to the instructions (including wiping the existing user data), then re-install all of your apps. For future reference, a great app called Titanium Backup will allow you to backup your apps and restore them after changing the ROM.

Agree with sirjoe1. Hopefully you flashed CWM as your recovery before you did this. However, if not then booting into recovery mode as described above should trigger a factory reset from the stock recovery partition. I have not attempted this myself with the stock recovery, but usually what this will do is simply return your device to it's stock state. You can then start over using the instructions in the OP....but without deleting critical system apps this time.

Hello again, I've a question, has anyone successfully Overclocked the cpu frequency on this phone using setcpu or similar apps?

Overclocking not possible without either a custom kernel or a kernel module of some sort. As the source for the stock kernel was never released, such a thing would be a HUGE undertaking. Very unlikely to ever happen.

[TUT] Keep your userdata/settings/apps when using HTCDev.com Unlock!

This will allow you to easily restore all your apps and data after unlock. To start you must be rooted and have working ADB. You also must have atleast 3GB free on your sd card.
Steps:
1. Download attached zip file named dd.zip
2. Extract the zip and copy the dd file to your adb folder
3. Hook your phone up to ADB (all commands from here on out are sent w/o quotes)
4. "adb push dd /data/local/tmp"
5. "adb shell"
6. "su"
7. "cd /data/local/tmp"
8. "chmod 4755 dd"
9. "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p35 of=/sdcard/data.img" This will take awhile, don't touch your phone. When it is finished, it will say records in, records out and some other stuff
10. Mount the phone to your computer and copy the data.img from your sd card to your computer
11. Unlock
12. After the unlock, if the data.img is no longer on your SD card, put it back.
13. Install CWM if you haven't
14. Flash the restore.zip that is attached here in recovery. When it is finished, your data will be restored. Big thanks to jcjcc for the flashable
Think of this like a partial nandroid backup & restore.

Would have help if I saw this before I unlocked lol. I was like f**k where did everything go?

Thanks for helping me earlier with this. Only two of my apps were not restored when I checked, but everyone may vary. I used titanium to restore app only, not app+data since it seem data was restored properly using the above method.
This is great since it restores everything like settings too, not just user apps.

i guess that's cool, but doesn't everyone make backups before they update?

You'd think so, but I've seen a ton of people in the unlock threads complaining that their devices were wiped. Fools.
Thanks OP for the method. It looks like you're pulling the data partition in its entirety, saving it to computer, then restoring. Do you think it's a better/safer/more complete way than just using TiBu? What advantage would this method have over TiBu?

Some of the data isn't restoring properly because you're restoring the partition while the phone is running (and trying to read/write to it at the same time).
Put your .img file at /sdcard/data.img and run this script in CWM recovery to properly restore your data.img.
OP, you can add this to the first post if you'd like.

How to root, unlock, upgrade to 1.85, and keep all your data:
Take a backup of your user data with these instructions. Then unlock (user data wiped), and relock in order to upgrade. Then install the 1.85 RUU (user data wiped again). Unlock again, use the same token (user data wiped yet again). Install CWM and then root through CWM. Finally, restore your user data according to the thread.
You'll be on 1.85, the latest, rooted and unlocked, with all your data, apps, and settings 100% intact.

will it work with touch recovery from DG

i can confirm this works with TWRP touch recovery!! Just did it tonight

How long is this suppose to sit at the boot animation? its just sitting here and hasnt budged from it for a good 5 minutes after restoring. kinda seems like its bootlooped. the first time it sat there that long i just rebooted and wiped all the data and it started right up.

They say it's deletes all user data for security reason. I wonder what kind of security they are talking about?

I know this is a basic ADB question, but I've read plenty of basic guides and troubleshooting, and no one seems to have recorded a similar issue:
If I list devices, my device shows up -- so a connection is there. It sends the dd file without error.
But when I do adb shell, it goes to the $ prompt, but then after a second or two, returns back to the regular cmd prompt. If I type 'su' quickly enough, it changes to # prompt, but same result --- returns to the regular cmd prompt after a few seconds, after which i cannot proceed with the given steps.
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

Don't get it
I don't get it. I have not unlocked my phone. I wan't to backup my apps from my phone, so i could restore them later. I try to follow this guide, @ the moment I type adb shell it works, it just wont do anything su comman. It says not found. What do I do wrong? I want to unlock my phone, and keep/restore all my apps.

Go into the settings of ES file explorer and check everything under root settings. The only folder you want to get rid of is the Apps in the vendor folder. Anything else can harm the system. I just used the cut feature on the apps folder and pasted it to my sd card to make sure it worked first. Good Luck!

That worked great, thanks. I had to make sure to change it to always boot in parent mode or else it tried to boot the monarch interface on a cold start and, not having the necessary files any longer, just ended up with a blank screen. I had to restore a unit to factory and then switch to boot in parent mode, then remove the apps folder. Works like a charm now.

However I still have a problem since the root process that I haven't seen addressed so far after searching the forums.
After my putting the Nabi 2 to sleep and plugging in the charger, it will fully charge and turn the battery light green as it should, shortly after that the device then powers off and requires a reboot/cold start vs. just a quick click of the power button to return from sleep mode. It does reboot fine and has a full charge - all other operations are normal.
Any suggestions on how to eliminate this power down/reboot after charging?

I've flashed at least 5 different images in fastboot using at least 5 different methods. Every time I think I make any progress, I reboot my nabi2 and it reboots directly to TWRP. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Are you trying to flash a backup of 1.9.37 or just a program thru install? I know that if you wipe system and then flash another backup, if the backup is no good, twrp will not boot system but go right back to twrp. That is a safety setting, cause if it booted with no system installed you would most likely have a bricked device. That happened in the early days of Twrp, so they added the safety setting. If you flashed a backup, how long did it take, a good backup or image will take 10+ minutes, a bad 1 will say done in 1-2 minutes or less.
Might help if we had a little information about what you where doing.

I tried flashing multiple backups and they all go to twrp. The backups only took a minute or 2.

Ok your backups are all bad, that's why it finishes so quick and won't boot out of TWRP recovery. You will have to download a image file and get it into the TWRP folder on your sdcard. You will have to download it on your computer unrar it and name the folder something like unrooted 1.9.37 and transfer it to your micro sdcard. Then put micro sdcard back in tablet. In TWRP recovery, you will have to go into Advanced>File Manager. In file Manager, you will have to click on external sdcard and copy the file from there back to sdcard>TWRP>backups>serial#>unrooted 1.9.37 it doesn't matter what the folder name is that you put in the serial# folder but the all the others are as named and your new folder HAS TO BE IN THE SERIAL# FOLDER, or Restore will not see it. When that is done go back to main menu and Restore, you should see your new folder, choose it and swipe to restore. This should take 10+ minutes. You should be able to reboot to system then.

I'm having the same issue since the gapps update, where the Nabi shuts itself down while charging. Sometimes it can be a real pain to reboot after it does this.

Completed the OTA to 1.9.37, root, and gapps install - had the upgrading message on every boot but fixed that with the new gapps package (thanks a lot to all the great developers on this forum!)
However I still have a problem since the root process that I haven't seen addressed so far after searching the forums.
After my putting the Nabi 2 to sleep and plugging in the charger, it will fully charge and turn the battery light green as it should, shortly after that the device then powers off and requires a reboot/cold start vs. just a quick click of the power button to return from sleep mode. It does reboot fine and has a full charge - all other operations are normal.
Any suggestions on how to eliminate this power down/reboot after charging?
Thanks!

In es go to the menu where you turn on root explorer and tap the words 'root explorer' then a menu will pop up, tap mount r/w and then set /system to rw. You then should be able to delete the files. After you're done deleting set system back to read-only.
